A prayer for you.

Supposed to meet my friend for dinner on Thursday, but he couldnt make it on Thursday. Ended up he had to send his GF to hospital.

~~

This evening he gave me a call and said his gf is in critical condition. Pneumonia. WTF. went str down to the hospital to give him some support. One cant help but wonder why one can be so strong and healthy one day and then be doing battle with death the next day? In the room, watching all the tubes and such all over her body, I really cant find any words to say to her apart from the usual, "hang on there..." and the likes. Its even worse that you cant say anything to those watching the person on the bed cause nothing really helps apart from the silent support.

~~

Just got home from the hospital, sucks that i have to work 5 hours later. Really wanted to stay there to give him some support. Right now, I can only give some prayers and hope for the best for him and her.

~~

And my friend was telling us that all along, he thought he was not taking his gf for granted and i know he doesnt take her for granted. Just that he spends alot of time on archery too. but then all of a sudden, when this happened, it seems to him that maybe afterall, the time given to her was too little compared to archery. He made her a promise that he would quit archery if she can pull through.

So, please let him have a chance to make all these right again.

All alone...

All alone...from saturday onwards~ YESH~ Im referring to my job. I will be on my own come Saturday~~ and to cap it off, next week onwards im going to work in a new group, new shift manager and hes well known of being tempermental and extremely blunt. my boss already brought me to one side to prep me for any highly potential sarcasm, scolding, or whatever that will be thrown at me.

~

Bless me then

~

Well at least i can get to do some independent work~ Sad thing though as I feel my current group would be much better, cos at least there is something common with my other partner in the current group. Anyway, "Sky down dun have no scatter DE feast." And I predict theres going to be more shuffle come Nov and I would be going for my 3 weeks ICT in NOV~~~ cant wait cant wait...cos once my ICT is over in NOV, it wil be DECEMBER, my sweeeeeet DECEMBER~~~~ =D

Sunday with donuts~

went back to hall on Sunday and two DaTous decided to wear donuts in place of their glasses. and now one of them is requesting for it to be post up, so here it goes~~ =)

Yiyu with her chocs specs made of dough~

Siok Ee wearing her newly found retro pink glasses~~~

how amazin half her face can still be seen with the doughnuts all over her face...im amazed...are you? =D

Here comes October~~

running around the whole day today...went to VivoCity to buy mooncakes,walk around and then to science park to pass the moon cakes to sharon's mum. =) back to school to return my academic dress and then i decided to give the new arts canteen a visit. looks abit too spacious...maybe its because there wasnt as much people as normal school days. had lunch at burger king and guess what? i can see damn clearly Pasir Panjang Quay cranes and ships from the view there.

Back to Sengkang Compass point to have a haircut, i think the person cut it too short~~ damnnit~~ =(

this coming October--> must curb my spending~! control control~!

Hey dearie, this song is dedicated to you. its your Lee Hom. the lyrics quite nice too. =)

field soccer...

Why do people like to play field soccer? i dun understand...street soccer is much much nicer, fast paced, more skills involved, everyone can defend and attack and the playing field is much smaller. played field soccer yesterday with my PSA colleagues in a friendly match... oh manz it is tiring to run up and down the field...im FEEELING OOOOOOOOOOOLD~~~ need to start training up, drill and condition...

---

Why do people have the thinking that I am going to quit my job? hurhur... I AM NOT~! =D I may be on a low right now, but that aint gonna mean im going to quit~had a talk with my boss, or rather a scolding from him...kena scolded until "chou tou"(smelly head)...but i think its a good wake-up call...all the doubts and unsure feelings that i am having these past weeks seemed to disappear into thin air after the scolding. the scolding really came at a good time. =)

~

I have always believed in having passion in whatever you do and that if you are not happy with your job, you might as well quit early than waste your time and other people's time as well. Today, this belief i always thought i have strikes me all the more harder after the scolding from my boss. I think all these can be summarised in one question. "Does passion lies in the kind of job you like or finding it in the job you have?" If your answer is the first one, why not ponder over this --> "How long can you last doing something you like?" For most of the past things i thought i like to do, most of it have faded away with time...when you reach the top, the place you wanna be, the job you want to have...what does it leave you with? i read an article on this and people who reached the place they want to be too early often find themselves wondering what to do next.

ECP and thereafter...

went for ECP outing on sunday~~~ me, jun, marcus, caroline, esther, hengfai and winson...not bad an outing... =) we cycled and i guess the highlight of the day would be the crazy photos we took over there...crazy shots...crazy but fun...im too lazy to upload...maybe i will do it once i get the photos from esther and marcus too... =D
Got caught in the rain halfway while returning to return the bikes, me and caroline...cos we stopped to watch some acrobats performed. *pit pat pit pat* the rain hit against our skin and eyes while we fought through it...cycling in the rain --> *cool!!* literally and figuratively and whatevertively...
went out to watch Rogue Assasin after work today, just got back from Vivo. wanted to watch hairspray but some of my colleagues doubt its nice and wanted to watch this Jet li show, which i had a big gut feeling its not going to be very good...true enuff..its freaking NOT nice~~~

i give it THREE out of FIVE stars...one star for FINALLY having a TINY twist at the end and then ending it stupidly and ONE star for being the first movie that i ever felt like OR almost slept through it in my entire movie-watching life... and THE THIRD star for sitting 3 seats away from Wong Lilin and her hubby Alan Wu. I thought i saw a rather pretty Mrs Wu but my fren who sat besides her said ...ermm...some unknown girl who walked behind us would have been prettier than Mrs Wu...hmmm...i shall keep that pretty image of Mrs Wu with me and not let him taint that picture...LOL...

~~

dun even think of downloading it, please.

Spike in my spending curve. =(

And it all started from Wednesday...Dinner at Sakae at Funan Mall - sushi buffet~! feed myself to the max~! get back every inch of my cents and dollars~ muahahaha~! We went to Timbre after that to chill out and Sarah joined us. Not bad a place to chill out and we ordered heinken~ its a wednesday night and i think most of the people went to clark quay to chill out or MOS, St James or Zouk to party, which explains why it wasnt THAT crowd. I guess everyone there just wanna chill and surprisely, we weren't covered in smokes which is the number one thing i hate about these places...

Chilling out at Timbre~

Anyway, the reason for the outing...i guess...would be to celebrate Jun's bday...he is lucky to have escape a deadly ponding session. will give him one time "jialat jialat" next time he is in hall. LOL. we left the place about 2300hrs and I got home after midnight. yawns...and i gotta work the next day @ 0730hrs. =D

Sarah, Esther and Caroline.

Lau Qijun @ 50% smile.

Lau Qijun @ 100% smile.

Yes...Lau Qijun's smile is the same all the way after trial and error @ different percentages. I would expect the same smile when he gets his ass ponded. LOL

And it was a dunno-whats-going-on day at work yesterday, especially after lunch yesterday with the system having some lag time from Singtel and everyone running around in control room. felt like a war zone yesterday...

after work, joined my colleagues for dinner at CARNIVORVE @ VivoCity. freaking hell its expensive. not very worth it as you get VERY full within a few slices of meat. Meat lovers would really love it there and i suggest you try the salmon...in fact, JUST take the salmon. its the best dish there and its not very filling, which will make it worthwhile. I may sound like a miser but i believe you will do the same if the freaking meat buffet costs you SGD 44! and i had like only 10 slices of meat and im full~! each slice cost you a meal's worth of food. But i guess the only thing good that anyone can get out of it is the get-together with your colleagues and listening to all the gossips going on. LOL.

Savouring the moment...

Last night, went back to attachment under someone...my previous upper-study...got pissed off 2 times by her... First time, i left office to take statement, ship's sailing time very tight, i come back she told me, "ship's sailing time so tight already you still go and take statement~!" I was like, "what the f**k, you are looking at it, the supervisor also looking at it, you need a third pair of eyes for WHAT?" Ridiculous. As if i look at it I can be magneto and magically place all the containers on board vessel in one second. This is call knowing ur staff's capability. I see the one doing is a good supervisor. Just let him settle it, why go and do double job? Even Zhehao (my partner for the other section) who overheard her wants to laugh...

---------------

Second time, at 5am i already told them im going for safety inspection. and after i came back, she said, "oh finally you want to come back already ah?" wah lan! freaking feel like slapping her...its not like i go out to slack or what...farking ridiculous...no wonder others dun think so highly of her, what kinda work attitude is that? told me to set priority, i think her priority needs to get set first. Pui. Zhehao told me he will slap her if its was him just now. LOL.

---------------

I still prefer handling the shift myself. Thursday shall go back and tell my boss. =)

Independent...

Today my upper-study took MC. So i run the Section on my own.

~~~

Exciting? yes!

~~~

Stressful? Oh hell YESH~!

~~~

not when the shift manager is well known for screwing people upside down... my usual shift manager changed shift for today...mega SNORT...

and one really really have no time when you are on your own...how are u supposed to keep track of your section performance when alot of exceptions crops up? thats some thing i really need to master asap. well in any case, time really flies when you are on ur own and focused. theres so many things you can do that i think i better get organised or something...and not to mention, the usual after-work paperwork...and *touchwood* accidents...

In any case, its meet-the-SVP tomorrow before going for my night shift. lets hope he make it short and sweet so that I can go back office early to finish up the paperwork... =) and after that? it's 2 days of off~~~ hmmmmm =D

love it or not...

oooh...played 'dai di" until 3plus 4am this morning, slept for 2 hrs and wake up and off to work i went... yawns... not so bad since im on standby and its the weekend today...no bosses, own time own target...good time to clear all my mails and reports... yesh... was thinking on my way back about my job, already have a few friends who changed job after working for just a while. what seemed so optimistic at the start ended up to be...not-so-good afterall. so what about me? i also can't figure it out left right centre. ups and downs, pros and cons, excitement versus stale-ness... For now, let's just stick by the "passion in whatever you do" rule. so I NEED TO GET, FIND, GRAB, DIG, HUNT, PURSUE or DO WHATEVER to get the passion for the job and let time speak for itself. Gotta do it while im still feeling positive about the job...ARRHRRHRHHHHH~~~

---------------------------------

In any case, I send out a few SMSes to a few long time friends whom i haven't contacted...and I'm glad I did that...its really nice to know that people are still concern about what's going on in your life and that I still have stuff to talk to them about... well... ended off on a "catch up soon" note...now let's see how I will go about doing that... okie set! by end of october, i shall finish meeting up all those i set out to meet up! shouldn't be that hard lah hor... =)

New toys~! =)

I bought my camera~! casio exilim Z75~~ package deal at Vivo City, although the deal's supposed to be done by 2nd September, i think they extended it. taken a few shots around, its definitely better than my old one and plus, it's smaller and lighter~! Anyway, i bought it so that i can use it at work. whenever theres accident i can just bring my own camera and not use the company's camera, so that i can bring the pics back and upload instead of doing it in the office. hurhur. plus i really should have one of my own...if not, everything also share in the house, sometimes its just not that convenient. But then again, it means that im really broke this month.

=(

My second toy~~~ ta da~~~ its the Rubik's Cube. I can solve the first face (the white face) within 2 mins now. =) It's the first step to solving the cube, although the first step is really really simple, but it takes practise~! practise~~! after i can do it in one min, i will go on to the more difficult steps with logarithms~! next time, i shall solve the cube within 5 mins~! for a start~!

Yesterday, I left my office about 9.30pm after my day shift, waiting for my colleague to finish his incident report and we went to Carl's Junior for dinner...3 of us...its quite nice although it was supposed to be a bigger outing as most of those from our batch are working on the same day. one girl fly aeroplane, the other has to work Day again this morning, so left only 3 of us. well we were talking about our KPIs for ourselves, one was saying his KPI is to come work at 7 and go back at 8, max of 14 hrs, which he missed his KPI yesterday. the other one was to make sure he doesn't bring his work back home to do...well actually i didn't really thought of one for myself...what's my KPI?

---------------------------

Work's suddenly gotten abit back on track after talking to my fellowmates yesterday, although some of our views differ but i can see that there are comrades on the same line as I am, fighting in the war. Chiong ah~~~! In any case, gonna be a busy weekend for me running around~! =)

off-off

yay~! my off-off coming up~!!! tonight night shift~~~then off off~~!!! yippee~! cant wait...haven really plan what to do this coming off...
...oh yar...need to study...sianz...mega SNORT...
--
anyway ratatouille was rather good, just that there's nothing much about COOKING if thats what you are looking for. like nemo wasn't about fishes, ratatouille ain't about cooking...but theres really alot of rats...it really look kinda disgusting when you see so many rats scrambling around. LOL.
--
would have hope that the movie outing was longer though...stupid soccer made me have to have it later, and then last min opponent cannot make it. PUI-EeEEee~!!
